RESUMO

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the head and neck is a rarely occurring poorly differentiated and high-grade malignant neoplasm characterized by highly active proliferation of neuroendocrine tumor cells. There are no established therapies for this disease. To clarify the clinical course and develop effective treatment(s) for the carcinoma, we reviewed the data of 8 patients of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the head and neck treated by us between 2006 and 2014 at the Department of Otolaryngology, Gifu University School of Medicine and our affiliated hospitals. The patients consisted of 3 men and 5 women, ranging in age from 38 to 84 years old (mean : 60.9 years). The tumor arose from the nasal cavity or the paranasal sinuses in 3 cases, from the parotid grand in 2 cases, from the oropharynx in 2 cases, and from the hypopharynx in 1 case. The tumor that arose from the hypopharynx was a combined small-cell carcinoma with squamous cell carcinomas, and the one that arose from the oropharynx had already metastasized to the brain. Most of the patients were treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy based on the treatment employed for small cell carcinoma of the lung. Only the patient in whom the tumor arose from a paranasal sinus was treated by surgery despite the definitive diagnosis of small cell carcinoma. We selected CPT-11 and a platinum agent for 4 patients, and VP-16 and a platinum agent for 3 patients as the first-line chemotherapy. Although two patients showed carcinoma-free survival, one died of recurrence of the regional lymph node metastases and five died of distant metastases despite the absence of locoregional recurrence. The 5-year survival rate was a dismal 25%, suggesting that we need to establish effective treatment(s) for the control of distant metastases in cases of the small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the head and neck.

RESUMO

It has been reported that negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is effective in the treatment of contaminated wounds. We hypothesised that systemically administered antibiotics migrate to wound site effectively by NPWT, which provides the antibacterial effect. We measured and compared the concentrations of vancomycin in the exudate and blood serum. Eight patients with skin ulcers or skin defect wounds who were treated with NPWT and were administered an intravenous drip of vancomycin were enrolled in this study. The wound surfaces were muscle, muscle fascia or adipose tissue. We administered vancomycin intravenously to NPWT patients (1-3 g/day). The exudate was obtained using 500 ml V.A.C. ATS canisters without gel. Three days later, the concentrations of vancomycin were measured. The mean concentration of vancomycin in the exudate from NPWT was 67% of the serum vancomycin concentration. We found that concentrations of vancomycin in NPWT exudates are higher than the previously reported concentrations in soft tissue without NPWT. The proactive use of NPWT might be considered in cases of suspected wound contamination when a systemic antibiotic is administered.
